DILEMMA OF THE ROAD SUPERVISORS

Commissioners ordered that two docle milk cows
and no more, belonging to one household or fam
ily shall be allowed to pasture or run at large
on the uninclosed grounds in Marion county. In
attempting TO carry out this command, the road
supervisors are meeting with protests sand
threats of such fierce character that their lives
becoming burdensome Dairymen who
have large herds are protesting and the herders
in whose charge the cattle placed while they
are on the commons, are not only growing but
threatening to do they please at all hazards

A NEW IMPROVEMENT


The special features Of the improvements
made in the New Denison Hotel of Indian apolis,
now about completed, place it among the best
and finest hotels to be found in the country.
The marble stairway is made of Georgia marble.
which is hard as granite. The new incan-
descent electric light is a new feature in hotel
lighting. This plant put in by the Jenny
Electric Com pany of this city. The New Deni-
is said to be the only hotel In the world
lighted with the large incandesent light. In
refitting the rooms the number of bathrooms
has been doubled and the house now has more
bathrooms in proportion to the number of
rooms, than any hotel in the country. One of
the best improvements made in the hotel is the
supplying Of awnings to all the rooms having a
west 'front.' rendering the rooms cool and pleas
ant under any temperature. The impression
prevails that tho New Denison is a high-priced
house. This is mistake. The prices charged
ut the New Denson are as low as those charged
at any firstclass hotel in the city, and lower
than any hotel furnishing the same character of
accommodations. The fact is, the travelling
public can secure better accomm odations for the
money at the New Denison than can be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the country. The table at
the New Denison is special feature and is
equal to that Of the best hotel in any OF the
larger Eastern cities.

One Of IrOnton's Absent Minded Church
Members.

On last Sabbath rather amusing scene
occurred in the Sunday School of one Of our
churches. One of the male members, who
is not accustomed to opening the school,
was necessitated to do so, owing to the abb
sence of the officers. He proceeded admir-
ably until near the close, when he called the
attention of the school to the reading of the
report OF the secretary, and, inasmuch as
that officer was absent, the gentleman in
question wss compelled to be both superin-
tendent and secretary. When all had be-
come quiet, the dual officer picked up the
secretary's boob and prefaced the reading
by few enthusiastic remarks. Simultane-
Gus with the beginning Of his remarks, he
pulled out his cob pipe as though he intend
ed to add to his enthusiasm by stimulus
from the "weed." The surprise of the
brethren and the litter of the children caus-
ed the brother to be very brief, and casting
his eyes downward, preparatory to using
his pencil in completing his memoranda on
the secretarv's book, he realized that he held
In his hand the wrong instrument for writ
ing, and showing the cob. pipe back into his
pocket, he pulled out his pencil and his
flushed countenance seemed to say, "Tll
never be caught with that abomnable old
cob pipe again."

Base Ball Notes.

The Graniteville Club did the Ironton's uI
in great shape last Sunday. Thirty-fiye to
six is ga leetle too much," as the prisoner
said when sentenced to receive 600 lashes for
wife-beating.
The Hayseeds defeated the Reds last Sum
day by great score. About the only club
the Reds can defeat, /: seems, is the second
nine Hayseeds.
The second nine Hayseeds were defeated
Sunday by the Middlebrook Browns, the
score being IA to 35. Some of the Hayseed
boys say the reason they were defeated was
because they had to play ten men instead of
nine-the umpire deciding in favor of the
Browns in almost every instance.
If you want to hear the latest base ball
news, go to the post Office on Sunday even
ing-that's where the "base ball cranks -
congregate.
The Clippers will, We understand, play
the Graniteville club again one week from
next Sunday ON the home grounds.
The second nine Hayseeds will challenge
the Arcadia club for next Sunday.
